Comment: I have been taking this med for 14 years with great results. I am no longer depressed, and I took other drugs and suffered serious s/e's and didn't get such a response as with nefazodone. I am experiencing no s/e's and my dose has not had to be increased. My liver tests have all been normal and unchanged. I am very happy. I hope I will always have this drug. Before I tried elavil,

I am experiencing no s/e's and my dose has not had to be increased. My liver tests have all been normal and unchanged. I am very happy. I hope I will always have this drug. Before I tried elavil, nortriptaline, prozac, and other horrible meds that did next to nothing for me and made me sick.Hide Full Comment

Comment: I was diagnosed with Major Depression Disorder, May 1998. I tried 14 different drugs for depression. Nefazodone(SERZONE) along with Lamictal has saved my life.

Comment:I was diagnosed with Major Depression Disorder, May 1998. I tried 14 different drugs for depression. Nefazodone(SERZONE) along with Lamictal has saved my life. I would highly recommend giving it a try. Prozac was a big no-no for me. It made me very suicidal. I take 600mg of Nefazodone and 200mg of Lamictal (used as a mood stabilizer)every evening. This is the best combination for me. I've been taking this for about 4 years and I've really not noticed any side effects, except sleepiness about 2 hrs. after I take Nefazodone. I am very happy with this combination. All the other drugs I've tried, caused stomach problems, weight gain or made my depression even worse than it already was.Hide Full Comment

Comment: I am a person with chronic depression. I have some blurry vision with nefazodone. I take 450 mg. every day, it does make me dizzy and groggy, so I take all of the pills at night during or after dinner. For me, it caused bad nausea and tummy aches only if I did not take it with food or a full stomach.
